The application based funding scheme administered by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs under Subhead G of Vote 43 provides grant funding to individuals, groups and organisations involved in the provision of services to children and young people. The current value of applications received by my Department since its establishment in June last amounts to just over €2.4 million and particulars relating to individual applications on a county basis are set out in the accompanying table.

Applications for National Lottery grants far exceed resources so it may not be possible, unfortunately, to assist all applications. All applicants for National Lottery funding will be informed of the outcome of their application as soon as the final decision has been made. It will also be open to projects to apply for funding in 2012 under the National Lottery allocation available to this Department. Details of this will be available on my Department's website www.dcya.gov.ie.
